Gotham Gray

MQ5-29

Gotham Gray is a medium gray with a cool blue-green cast. It feels urban. Gotham Gray can steady an office, media room, or exterior accent without reading as black.

Applied to walls, it may look cooler beside warm floors. Let crisp trim and brushed nickel for a clean scheme carry the quiet contrast. If the room already has gray upholstery, add wood or leather so the space does not feel flat.
